Poem: Morphos
*by thelly as usual
Morphos
*******
There is an itch beneath my skin
I can feel it...
Something lurking deep within
Awakening from a slumber...
Working its way throughout the contours of my shell,
Warming my blood,
Making me feel empowered.
This thing that lives within me rapidly manifests
It no longer remains dormant,
No longer does it stay locked inside...
I can feel it clawing through me...
Slithering through my pores,
Pushing through my veins,
with a heat like thick lava...
Burning me away...
Slowly,
Wholly,
Completely,
I am being devoured,
I am being transformed,
I am being modified
Into something altogether unfamiliar
Something that is unimagined
Something that is unknown...
Far beyond My control.
